We had a pretty relaxed day today that the orphanage. When we arrived, the children were so grateful to see us. After our brief hellos, we went through our orientation session with the staff members and got a tour of the orphanage. Since I have last been at the orphanage (June) so much has changed. The kids have received a new soccer field that was donated to the orphanage, 3 new houses have been started, and they are putting in a new aqua ponics. On the tour we found out the orphanage has just received 6 new children that have been at the orphanage for about 2 weeks. So far these new children are doing great and love their new home.
After our amazing meal, we went into the village and toured one of the widows homes that was built in the last couple of years. We didn't get to spend much time there because the child had prepared skits for us and performed in the afternoon. The joy on their faces was absolutely phenomenal. After all they have been through, they still have more joy than most of the people I know. After the presentation we said our goodbyes for the day and headed back to the motel. After nearly hitting a man in the street, we made it home and had devotions. We are all excited to get to work tomorrow and serve at Casa Angelina. The pictures were stubborn and didn't want to upload so hopefully I will have them up by tonight.
